Trick or Treat Studios are dedicated to reviving the golden age of costume making. Created by fans for fans, their catalogue includes iconic horror masks, collectable figures and life scale prop replicas. Here are five of their sculpted range of Hammer-based veils.
Part of the Distinctive Dummies Roy Ashton collection, this 11.5" custom action figure represents Jacqueline Pearce as THE REPTILE.
For DRACULA, A. D. 1972 completists, here is a Distinctive Dummies custom twin set of an 8" Dracula and Van Helsing.

Initially, Mego existed between 1954 and 1983. In July 2018, the reformed Mego Corporation announced they would be producing new products in their much loved 8" clothed figures style, including a Hammer Horror line starting with a Christopher Lee Dracula doll in 2020.

Straight from Hammer, these TASTE THE BLOOD OF DRACULA socks are available in UK men's size 6-11. Christopher Lee is obviously the preferred choice for sock aficionados, as the other two designs are Lee as the Count from DRACULA PRINCE OF DARKNESS, and The Creature from CURSE OF FRANKENSTEIN.
Official Hammer merchandise designed by Numskull, this CURSE OF THE WEREWOLF rubber duck is part of the TUBBZ cosplaying duck range. Oliver Reed would have been delighted.
In 1976, Topps issued Hammer picture cards under the title Shock Theatre. This set of 50 include stills from Warner Dracula releases and FRANKENSTEIN MUST BE DESTROYED. The previous year there was a test copy version in the United States, which included non-Warner films such as THE CURSE OF FRANKENSTEIN.
By 1974 the company was stumbling towards an open grave, and Hammer City Records was a project that aimed to recreate their classics as audio dramas. Hammer Presents Dracula with Christopher Lee is an LP which features the actor narrating "a horrifying story of vampirism" on side one, while side two is a mishmash of musical suites from FEAR IN THE NIGHT, SHE, DR JEKYLL AND SISTER HYDE and THE VAMPIRE LOVERS. The record is an important artefact as it contains Lee's last performance alongside the Prince of Darkness for the studio. The tale itself - written by Don Houghton - is threadbare, drastically brought to life by Lee's tones, bombastic musical cues and haunting sound effects (not forgetting Bill Mitchell’s introduction and coda).
